The Premier League transfer window has now been and gone, with a fast and furious three months going by in a flash as teams rushed to replenish their squads before the deadline in late August.
Football FanCast has all the info on all the movements involving every 2024/25 Premier League club, from champions Manchester City to new boys Ipswich Town.
Chelsea were the big spenders last time around, with close to £400m spent by Todd Boehly, which included the British-record transfer of Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Blues held on to that particular label this summer too, with over £200m spent as Enzo Maresca gets his feet under the table at Stamford Bridge.
And while there was a late flurry of signings on transfer deadline day, there were also a raft of deals beyond the cut-off as windows from around Europe and elsewhere closed in mid-September.
Note: Transfer fees stated here are from news reports where possible, while alternative sources such as Transfermarkt have also been used. All fees include potential add-ons where applicable.

Arsenal
Total spent: £100.6m
The Gunners may well be keen to spend big again after pushing Manchester City all the way last season. They signed Declan Rice for a club-record fee last term, outlining their intentions to become the best club in England once again. As their search for a league title enters a third decade, Mikel Arteta and Edu may yet be one transfer window away from glory.
Their marquee signing looks like being Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, who joins after a superb season helping the Serie A side into the Champions League, before impressing for Italy despite a disappointing defence of the European Championship title in the summer.
Mikel Merino has added more muscle to the midfield, while the Gunners were edging closer to a move for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling as the deadline entered its final hour.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Aston Villa
Total spent: £149.5m
Aston Villa have had an intriguing summer. While they may yet enjoy the riches of qualifying for the Champions League, they were also thought to be looking over their shoulders when it comes to complying with the Premier League’s profit & sustainability rules.
As such, there were hefty incomings and wealthy exits, with the largest of those being Moussa Diaby’s departure to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ittihad. Douglas Luiz is the other headline mutineer, while the likes of Ian Maatsen and Amadou Onana have been brought in to replace them – the latter for a cool £50m.
Villa’s summer spending reached a little under £150m as Unai Emery aims to pick up where they left off last term.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
Amadou Onana (Everton) | £50m | Moussa Diaby (Al-Ittihad) | £50.6m |

Bournemouth
Total spent: £96.3m
After a satisfactory first season under Andoni Iraola, it will be interesting to see where Bournemouth could go with a few new additions at the Vitality Stadium.
Having already added goalkeeper Alex Paulsen and the permanent signing of Enes Unal early on, the Cherries made several moves to consolidate their current position in the top flight.
Dean Huijsen and Julian Araujo joined from European heavyweights Juventus and Barcelona respectively, but the headline piece of transfer business is undoubtedly the big-money departure of Dominic Solanke, with Iraola bringing in Evanlison from Porto as his successor.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Brentford
Total spent: £102.6m
Brentford recorded their lowest Premier League finish since their 2021 promotion last season, meaning Thomas Frank will be after a vast improvement over the next 12 months.
The Bees made an early big move, bringing in Igor Thiago from Club Brugge for £30m, who could end up as a replacement for Ivan Toney, who sealed a £40m move to Al-Ahli.
But in a cruel twist, their new signing is unlikely to make his debut before the year is out due to a meniscus injury. The Bees later added Fabio Carvalho in another pricey deal, with the Liverpool ace joining for £27.5m following a spell at Hull City last term.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
Igor Thiago (Club Brugge) | £30m | Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli) | £40m |

Brighton & Hove Albion
Total spent: £196.5m
Brighton have had a summer of upheaval following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi. Replacement Fabian Hurzeler – the youngest Premier League manager in history – has overseen several significant incomings, spending close to £200m.
Georginio Rutter is the headline recruit, joining from Leeds for £40m, becoming the club’s priciest buy in their history. Elsewhere, Pascal Gross returned to Germany following a superb spell on the south coast and having made his international tournament bow with Die Mannschaft in the summer. Dutchman Mats Wieffer will be among those looking to fill the midfielder’s void.
A late flurry saw Brighton swoop for Euro 2024 star Ferdi Kadioglu and Celtic’s Matt O’Riley, though the latter was struck by a significant injury just minutes into his Seagulls career.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
Georginio Rutter (Leeds) | £40m | Deniz Undav (Stuttgart) | £22.5m |

Chelsea
Total spent: £226.8m
Chelsea may be under new management, but that doesn’t appear to have changed the spending habits at Stamford Bridge. The Blues’ battles with PSR concerns at the beginning of the window saw them sign Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa for £19m, with Ian Maatsen going the other way in a separate deal for £35m.
Aside from that, well over £200m has been spent in west London, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall following new boss Enzo Maresca to Chelsea for £30m. Pedro Neto looks like being their biggest buy at £54m, while Conor Gallagher is perhaps their most notable departee, along with £97.5m flop Romelu Lukaku, who has finally left to join Napoli on a permanent deal.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Pedro Neto (Wolves) | £54m | Ian Maatsen (Aston Villa) | £35m |

Crystal Palace
Total spent: £74.5m
Oliver Glasner’s first transfer window at Selhurst Park will surely be one of intrigue given his start to life in south London. The Austrian oversaw a dazzling run of form towards the end of the last campaign to secure what had looked an unlikely top-half finish, so a full season at the helm with the help of a few additions could lead to an exciting season.
However, the summer began with Michael Olise swapping Selhurst for Bavaria as he linked up with former Burnley boss Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich.
The Eagles have managed to retain the services of Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi despite impressing at Euro 2024, with the Crystal Palace captain looking Newcastle-bound earlier in the summer.
Maxence Lacroix was a deadline-day signing for Palace as he came in to replace Joachim Andersen, who re-joined Fulham. He was joined later on by striker Eddie Nketiah, who sealed a £30m move from Arsenal.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal) | £30m | Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) | £60m |

Everton
Total spent: £40.4m
Everton’s financial woes are well documented, and looked for all the world like they would lose Jarrad Branthwaite at some point this summer.
In the end, Amadou Onana was the big-money exit from Goodison Park, with some shrewd transfer activity from Sean Dyche bolstering the Toffees’ without breaking the bank – compared to previous years, anyway.
Jesper Lindstrom is one of the eye-catching additions as he joined on loan from Napoli, while ex-Sheffield United ace Iliman Ndiaye joined after a year in Ligue 1 with Marseille.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Fulham
Total spent: £94.7m
Fulham did exceptionally well to remain clear of any relegation bother in their second season back in the Premier League, particularly after losing star man Aleksandar Mitrovic last summer.
Despite losing Tosin Adarabioyo early on, Marco Silva scoured Europe to improve his side. The arrival of Jorge Cuenca will look to fill the void left by Tosin after a deal struck with Villarreal.
Elsewhere, they agreed a club-record fee for ex-Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe, before splashing the cash again to secure a Craven Cottage return for Joachim Andersen. Ryan Sessegnon has also returned to west London following his release from Spurs.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Ipswich Town
Total spent: £120.95m
Ipswich Town arguably have the toughest task of all Premier League clubs this term for obvious reasons, made even harder by the likes of loanees like Kieffer Moore returning to their parent clubs.
They did manage to lure Omari Hutchinson back to Portman Road – albeit for a chunky £20m – while they’ve continued their summer splurge as they returned to the Premier League for the first time in over 20 years by spending over £120m in total.
However, their most important deal of the summer may well turn out to be keeping Kieran McKenna at the club following his links to Chelsea.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Leicester City
Total spent: £79.2m
With Steve Cooper’s side potentially facing PSR repercussions, this is almost certain to be a testing year for newly promoted Leicester City.
The Foxes have spent relatively big, but have also received a decent chunk of cash this summer, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall a big-money departure to Chelsea, where he links up with ex-boss Enzo Maresca.
Oliver Skipp has arrived from Tottenham to replace him, the arrival of Bilal El Khannouss from Genk marked their priciest deal of the window.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Liverpool
Total spent: £41.5m
The Arne Slot era has arrived, so plenty of eyes will be on Anfield to see what kind of team the Dutchman builds on Merseyside.
It has been a largely quiet summer for the Reds, though they did act late to bring in Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a decent-looking £12.5m fee. And aside from securing the 2025 arrival of Valencia and Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, it appears as though Slot has prioritised keeping what he inherited from Jurgen Klopp in his first window as boss.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Manchester City
Total spent: £30.8m
Manchester City were able to improve on their league performance once again in 2023/24 – and they had to in order to keep Arsenal at bay. With the Gunners set to breathe down their necks once again, one thing the mega-rich champions can not afford to do is rest on their laurels.
There were whispers of Saudi Arabia tempting the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson with moves away, while Pep Guardiola’s long-term future remains up in the air.
But Man City’s only major first-team departure is that of backup striker Julian Alvarez – and for a club-record fee, too. In fact, the champions received over £150m in potential sales this summer when you factor in add-ons, while the return of Ilkay Gundogan for free may be one of the most inspired deals of the window.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Manchester United
Total spent: £190.4m
Having decided to keep Erik ten Hag despite their worst-ever Premier League finish, the summer transfer window should determine whether the decision to extend the Dutchman’s stay at Old Trafford will pay off.
Manchester United spent around £170m last term only to finish eighth, so another costly summer would surely be unthinkable for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.
United ended up spending almost £190m following the two arrivals from Bayern Munich in Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui as the Red Devils overhauled their defence ahead of the new season. Manuel Ugarte was a late £50m splurge.
There have been some big outgoings as well, most notably Scott McTominay’s sale to Napoli, recouping the Red Devils over £25m.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
Leny Yoro (Lille) | £52.1m | Mason Greenwood (Marseille) | £26.6m |

Newcastle United
Total spent: £62.9m
With Man Utd’s FA Cup win bumping Newcastle out of the European spots, there is an opportunity to repeat their achievements of two seasons ago. Eddie Howe’s side finished fourth thanks to clever investment and underperformance from clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea.
And amid all the changes at those clubs, plus the likes of Tottenham in the Europa League in 2024/25, Newcastle could take advantage by entering the top-four conversation once again – if they get the signings right, there’s no reason why they can’t challenge.
Howe has already decided to improve his backline with the addition of Lloyd Kelly, as the Magpies are currently struggling with long-term injuries in defence, but it has been a relatively underwhelming window this time around despite receiving £65m through the sales of Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh.
Incomings (From) | Fee | Outgoings (To) | Fee |

Nottingham Forest
Total spent: £100.2m
Surviving the drop last season despite a points deduction, Nottingham Forest will at least hope that the worst of their PSR woes are now behind them. Still having to keep a watchful eye on their finances, the Reds may not be able to spend as they please.
Forest have still brought in ten new players from just over £100m – and there could yet be more as the deadline closes, with James Ward-Prowse one of those linked in the latter stages of the window.

Southampton
Total spent: £109.1m
While Southampton have had some time to bask in the glory of their fruitful promotion pay packet, they will face a tough challenge to stay up this season.
They triggered the buy clause in Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ deal to take him from Man City for £20m, while Flynn Downes also saw his loan move turn permanent, with the ex-West Ham ace becoming one of 16 summer additions – the priciest of which was Aaron Ramsdale’s switch from Arsenal, which cost £18m upfront.
Russell Martin has also sealed a couple of deals for the winter, with a double deal for Sao Paulo pair Welington and Juan, with both players signing pre-contract agreements to join Southampton in the new year when their current deals expire.

Tottenham Hotspur
Total spent: £128.5m
Tottenham improved on the previous year by qualifying for the Europa League in their first season with Ange Postecoglou at the helm, but their second season will give us an idea of where they are headed under the Australian.
Postecoglou moved for Lucas Bergvall early on, reportedly beating Barcelona to his services in the process. Having also insisted he would improve the attack over the summer, Spurs recently welcomed Dominic Solanke to the club in a big-money move from Bournemouth.
Archie Gray’s arrival also took a sizeable chunk out of the transfer budget, with Spurs spending north of £120m in their four deals this window.

West Ham United
Total spent: £132.5m
Julen Lopetegui has had a busy start to life at West Ham, and is an early shout for having the best window of the summer. The Hammers have brought in some big signings for big money, with the former Wolves boss looking to transform their squad as well as their fortunes by hitting the ground running with his new team.
The Spaniard began his tenure by welcoming Luis Guilherme to the club as the Irons agreed a £25.5m deal with Palmeiras.
Whether he ends up being the eventual replacement for Declan Rice remains to be seen, but it is clear the Hammers struggled following the midfielder’s transfer to Arsenal, so this was surely the first port of call for Lopetegui and Tim Steidten this summer. Guido Rodriguez has joined for free to bolster the Hammers’ midfield following the expiry of his contract from Real Betis.
The arrivals of Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug are a sign that the Hammers have not been afraid to make bold decisions in the market. Could they be the attacking reinforcements their forward line has been crying out for?

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Total spent: £60.7m
Having flirted with a late surge for European football before falling away last term, Gary O’Neil will be in the market to try to make that next step forward at Wolves, rather than prepare his side for a relegation dogfight.
However, the Old Gold’s ability to compete could be severely tested ahead of the new campaign, with Max Kilman and Pedro Neto marking two sizeable departures for a combined £94m. The latter’s exit to Chelsea has left Wolves without one of their biggest stars so close to the start of the season, so O’Neil may be hoping his own recruits will turn out to be among the bargains of the summer.
Tommy Doyle joined on a permanent deal following his loan from Man City, while Rodrigo Gomes is among the other new arrivals at Molineux despite apparent interest from Atletico Madrid.
